Ivy Lewis moves up to Birmingham because her dad got promoted. She planned to just get through the last year of collage, before moving back home to Bournemouth. But on her first day, she catches the eye of the one and only Jack Payne. She hated his attitude, first thing that morning, but when he got her alone, she saw a different side to him.
Jack Payne just signed with Aston Villa, making his already massive ego, double. He can get any girl he wants with a wink, but when the new girl doesn't even take a second look, something sparks inside of him, something he didn't believe in. He knew that he wanted that girl in his life, anyway he could. So he decided that being her best friend was the safest bet. He worked his charm and within a day, one long day, she feel for it.
They love, hate, argue, overcome, strength each other and lie. All in the space of that one year, but they're just friends.
But friends don't look at friends that way.

Flirting With Fire ✅
Ivy has been groomed to be the first female Don of the Greyson mafia since she was little. Her whole life revolves around preparing herself for the role. From all the combat training she had endured, to pursuing business in college. It was all in anticipation for this role. But fate had another plan for her when she met Luke, a man who saved her and ultimately showed her what she's been missing in her life. Now, she has to decide if her ambitions are worth letting go for a shot at love. * * * "I'm sorry I hurt you." I choked out the words. I truly am sorry. I'm fighting against myself so hard by now to not show him how much I yearned for his approval. He takes two step forward, closing the gap between us and his hand reaches up and seize my throat, forcing me against the wall. His grip wasn't soft and loving, but filled with pain and bruising truth. He leaned closer and I felt his hot breath fanning my ear. "Not good enough, princess." My hands started shaking, I fisted my skirt, trying my best to compose myself and stop that lone tear that's threatening to escape. His rough palms gripped my face up to meet his raging eyes. I can see the bottled up rage and frustration bubbling to the top, threatening to spill over. But I also see that burning desire, the same one I'm fighting against. He wants me. But he also hates me. Two conflicting emotions together, battling inside him. "You're angry." "No shit, Sherlock." I can tell he wants to hurt me, physically, emotionally, just as much as I have hurt him. And yet, whatever remnant of care that he possessed for me is holding him back. Forcing him to push back that need to inflict pain. "Use me." "What?" His harshness falters a little, surprised at my words. My trembling hands slide against his hard chest, feeling the heat of his boiling rage. I lean closer, my lips brushing lightly against his ear and I whispered. "Let it out. Punish me." • MATURE THEMES 18+ • Started: Oct 10, 2021 Finished: ???Complete

Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

Walk With Me
(DISCONTINUED) I walked all the way to the park. I waited every day for at least thirty minutes. I walked back my confidence withering. Every. Single. Time. I was tired of waiting, I had my hopes up for way too long. One more walk, one more wait. He will be there. And he was. Lost on the path of not only life but her own decisions, Harlow Swan takes a chance to find her long lost friend, or crush, should I say. Meeting up with him again after two years, she realizes that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, and maybe there were some things that weren't as horrible as she thought. But not long after, things begin to go downhill, and her hopes begin to crumble. Harlow thinks that maybe once she's put her life back together, along with her hope, maybe everything would be normal again. But maybe everything wasn't meant to be normal, maybe it was all meant to be awful and way too truthful for her liking. It isn't just any normal story, after all; it's hers.Complete

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 Amelia Laurent was built on survival. Half-British, half-French, and carrying scars no one should ever bear, she flees Europe for the sun-drenched coast of California seeking a fresh start-and complete isolation from the trauma of her past. She wants no part of love, trust, or second chances. Her sole focus is pouring herself into her work at her aunt's thriving tech company, where she's already poised to take over as future CEO. On her first day at her new school, Amelia reluctantly lets her guard down just enough to join a close-knit group of friends, but the real disruption to her carefully constructed walls arrives in the form of Xavier Roberto-a charismatic Italian heir and the acting CEO of his mother's fashion empire. All-the-while patient, persistent, and though not even meaning to, Xavier sees right through Amelia's defenses and slowly chips away at the fortress around her heart. Just as Amelia begins to believe she deserves a real future, the terrifying shadows of her past resurface. Driven by deep-seated fear-both of losing herself in love and of her abusive aunt and former rapist coming after the man she's grown to care for-Amelia makes the agonizing choice to push Xavier away. When the truth brings them back together, their bond is tested to its absolute limit. At the high-profile fashion gala where Xavier was to be made CEO, Amelia's worst nightmare comes to life. Will she eventually find true love, or is she destined to be a leftover forever?
